Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped with seeds
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1-1/2 lbs ground pork
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp white pepper
- ½ tsp ground thyme
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- ½ cup green onions chopped, plus more for garnishment
- 1 cup Desert Pepper Peach Mango Salsa
- 8 oz pad Thai rice noodles
Instructions
- Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions (typically under 10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large deep skillet, or a wok if you have one, over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Add the onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeño pepper, and sauté until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the ground pork, salt, white pepper, thyme, cayenne, cinnamon, and ground ginger to the skillet. Cook, breaking the pork into small pieces, until no longer pink, about 8–10 minutes.
- Pour in the soy sauce, lime juice, and Desert Pepper Peach Mango Salsa. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Continue cooking and stirring for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Add the cooked rice noodles and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the stir fry to plates and garnish with additional green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
